Hmmm... what I was thinking of is if it is possible for Migard to accept
whatever username/password that the web server has authenticated. Cos I
am running Apache-1.3.12+SSL and when a user access my website, I used
Apache's default built-in authentication to ask for a username/password.
The user can only access if he supplies a valid username/password.

LDAP basically stores whatever that is stored in /etc/passwd and much
more stuff. For RedHat Linux, there is a pam_ldap module which allows you
to do the authentication.
Thanks!
